Increasing my corn snakes diet

[dembonez]

my corn snake just finished a awful shed!! finally i felt so bad but he looks so good now!!

what i want to ask is he is on 1 fuzzy now and im trying to get him to the next size should i go 2 fuzzys or 1 hopper?



(BTW off topic but i got my BP to finally eat frozen!! yay)

Usually they can go directly from 1 fuzzy to 1 hopper. However, there is no problem with going to 2 fuzzies for a while. Lots of people will do that if they have some extra frozen fuzzies to use up. Also, if you happened to have a batch of small fuzzies, and then get a batch of big hoppers, it might be better to go with 2 fuzzies to sort of bridge the gap. Another possibility, if you have been feeding 1 fuzzy/7 days, is to start feeding 1 fuzzy/5 days.

How big is your snake? It might be fine to jump up to hoppers. They say 10-15% of body weight is the way to go.
